South Beach Tow Might Be Worst Reality TV Show Ever: A Definite Must See

Just when you thought reality TV couldn't sink any lower...wait a second. We've already used that line, several times. The truth is there are no depths to which reality shows will not sink. Have you heard bout the new Casey Anthony show? We haven't either, but trust us, a pitch is forthcoming. That's part of what attracts us to them; their lowness. We can't help loving it.

hours of laughs you get retelling the story at family barbecues.

But back to South Beach Tow. It stars a bunch of tow company employees.

Just take that in for a sec. Let it settle in you that part of your

brain that's warns of you impending doom and wait for the apocalypse

sirens to start blaring. About the only thing that seems legit about the

show is that the company featured, Tremont Towing, is one of two actual actual towing companies on
